Checking the AC Power Supply
Fuses
The subwoofer is supplied in versions suitable for connection to 230V, 220V, 115V or 100V AC power supplies.
Before connecting to the AC power supply, check that the voltage range marked on the back corresponds with that of
the supply. Please check with the dealer if you have any doubt as to the voltage in your area or intend to use the
equipment in regions which use other mains voltages.
The mains supply fuse of the subwoofer is accessible on the rear panel after the IEC mains plug has been removed. In
the rare event that it has broken, you should first check for any obvious cause before replacing the fuse with one of
the correct rating and type. The correct fuse values are:
220 - 240V (UK, Korea, etc.)
T 4 AL 20mm Slow Blow
100- 120V (USA, Japan, etc.) T 8 AL 20mm Slow Blow
Switch off the equipment and remove the connection to the mains power outlet before changing the fuse.
Positioning the Subwoofer
Although the unit may be placed almost anywhere in the room, we recommend that it be placed in front of the listener
and as central to the listening position as possible. As the subwoofer is a powered unit there should be a mains outlet
within easy reach. The subwoofer should not be operated within 450mm of a conventional CRT television set as the
drive unit magnet may distort the picture. Remember that there should be a line of sight between the listening
position and the front of the subwoofer otherwise the remote functions will not be operable.
We suggest you initially position the subwoofer about 20cm (8 inches) from the wall. Placing the unit close to the wall
will enhance the bass; placing it across the corner of the room will increase the bass further, possibly at the expense
of clarity. Do not place the subwoofer close to surfaces or objects that may rattle. The floor under the subwoofer
should be sound with no loose floorboards, etc.
You should expect to experiment with a variety of locations and sources before making a final decision.

Carefully invert the subwoofer.
Protect the top by placing it on a soft surface such as a towel.
Open the polythene bag and slide it part-way down the cabinet.
Two sets of adjustable screw feet are provided - regular and spiked. Choose one set only - do not use a mixture of
spiked and regular feet.
Screw the threaded washer over each foot as shown.
Screw a foot part-way into the threaded hole at the bottom of each leg of the subwoofer and hand-tighten the
washer.
When all four screw feet have been fitted, stand the subwoofer upright and remove the bag.
With the aid of a spirit level, screw each foot in and out until the subwoofer is level (side to side and front to back)
and firmly supported on all four feet.
Tighten the washer with a suitable wrench to lock the assembly in position.
When using spiked feet take care not to drag the subwoofer and be careful not to pierce objects or cables which may
be hidden under carpets, etc. Spikes are not suitable for use with stone floors and can cause damage to wood floors,
so consider carefully before deciding which feet to use.
let children handle spikes.
Warning: Spikes can be Dangerous!
